"Did someone from the investigation bureau tell you this, or did you just guess on your own?"
Giselle looked at Zhang Pin curiously.
"It's not right that you are from Langley. It doesn't look like you are from the Bureau of Investigation, either?"
Zhang Pin did not answer Giselle's question, but instead speculated on Giselle's true identity.
Originally, Sir Zhang didn’t pay much attention to the theft of gold from the Federal Reserve Bank.
After all, this world is so dangerous, isn't it normal to lose something?
Besides, it’s not just the Fed that lost it, but everyone else too. Isn’t that how Sir Zhang’s diamonds and U.S. dollars came from?
Even when someone from the Investigation Bureau approached him and asked him to help retrieve the gold, Sir Zhang didn't think much about it. He just thought that the Investigation Bureau had no overseas law enforcement powers after all, so he asked him for help as a foreign aid.
As for why no one else chose him but himself, Sir Zhang also thinks it’s because he has racked up records and performed well in America during this period.
After arriving in London and meeting Ethan and others, Sir Zhang also imagined that the Investigation Bureau and Langley were competing with each other, so Langley was not given the task this time.
He finally realized that the reason why something was wrong was actually related to Johnson being misled by Ethan's false information.
Sir Zhang originally thought that something like the theft of gold from the Federal Reserve was big news in itself, so it was not unusual for someone to know about it.
Simon was able to steal so much gold from the Federal Reserve and thus became famous. It stands to reason that Johnson is also an old man, and he is deliberately trying to recover the gold himself to make up for his previous mistakes, so it is very strange that the other party would be fooled.
But at that time, Sir Zhang was just surprised and didn't think deeply about it.
Until today, Giselle suddenly appeared, and she was still trying to seduce him.
Originally, Giselle's aesthetics were not in line with her own, after all, the other party's reasoning was too small.
However, Sir Zhang only has Claire in London as his partner, and he has nothing to do recently. He spends almost all day and night with Claire, so he is inevitably a little tired of it.
So he thought of changing his taste.
As for the other party approaching him must have a purpose, Sir Zhang doesn't care.
After all, there are no soldiers to block it, and water to block it with sticks. It cannot be that the other party wants to spread some virus to itself through the affair between men and women.
Sir Zhang was really worried at first, but his physical fitness was already extraordinary, and ordinary viruses could not do anything to him.
So Sir Zhang finally accepted Giselle's verbal service.
Who knows, but Giselle actually revealed some shocking news to her.
Owen Shaw and Braga actually collaborated.
After knowing this, the previous questions can be easily solved.
Sir Zhang and Warren have long known about the fact that Braga has the support of big figures from America.
Sir Zhang didn't think he could keep it secret forever as he led people to steal money, or rob Braga of his savings over the years.
On the contrary, when he agreed to Warren's invitation, he was actually ready to be exposed, and this was actually a part of his deliberate plan.
Because Sir Zhang is often involved in various major cases, he naturally has a lot of money that cannot be easily seen.
Because there is no reasonable source of funds for this money, many times the money cannot be spent openly.
Previously, part of the funds, Sir Zhang, were given to Yang Jianhua and converted into Chinese currency, and the other party laundered the money.
But the limitation is that because the money exchanged from Yang Jianhua is Chinese currency, it can only be spent domestically.
Apart from using this money to invest, it is basically difficult for Sir Zhang to have any other spending purposes.
After all, he rarely goes to the mainland. Besides, even if he spends it casually, he will never be able to use it all.
He invested another part of the funds in Chen Tianqiao's Daqiao Bank, and then the bank invested and laundered it.
In theory, this money can be spent at will, but that is just a theory. In fact, on the contrary, it is different from the Chinese currency that can be spent at will in the country.
On the contrary, Bridge Bank's shares and capital deposits were severely restricted.
The reason is, of course, that there are doubts about the source of funds.
Sir Zhang relies on his unique status in Hong Kong Island, so he can enjoy it.
Although this time in America has not been long, Sir Zhang has gained a lot from it.
Of course, it is impossible for him to just leave these funds and income unused in Mustard Space, but the sources of these funds are also very subtle. If exposed, Sir Zhang may be on the wanted list.
The reason why Warren invited Sir Zhang to raid Braga's lair was actually to clear his source of funds.
After all, before they decided to raid Braga's lair, they had already shared several hundred million dollars in stolen money from Carter Veron.
This money is of course black money for Carter Veron, and it is equally impossible for Zhang Pin and others who took this black money to spend it openly.
Theoretically speaking, the money they robbed Braga is also stolen money and cannot be spent openly.
But although the theory is the same, in practice, things are different.
The most critical point is that Braga's money was not robbed in America.
In Warren's position, he asked Zhang Pin and others to steal Braga's money from Mexico. In fact, there is no fundamental difference between the behavior of other companies or investors investing in other countries, or doing business to make profits.
.
So as long as the limelight passes, Sir Zhang can reveal the news and then spend the money openly.
Because they did not disclose how much money they had robbed, Braga who was robbed would not be able to come forward and speak out, so when the time comes they can take the opportunity to spend the money they got from other channels for this reason.
Originally, Sir Zhang already felt that Warren's operation was very courageous and his methods were extraordinary.
As a result, it seems that some people spend more money than they do.
However, if you think about it carefully, the Federal Reserve holds the right to mint US dollars and holds arguably the largest gold reserves in the world. It is not a surprise that moles are lining their own pockets and secretly transferring assets.
The only unexpected thing this time is probably that Sir Zhang's action was too sudden and disrupted the other party's plan.
Then maybe someone was worried about being audited, so they just went along with the situation or carefully planned an operation to settle the accounts.
"It seems that I have also become a link in the settlement."
Zhang Pin didn't wait for Giselle's answer, but he didn't care too much.
In fact, he also had some guesses about the other party's identity.
According to the intelligence from the Bureau of Investigation, Giselle had served in the Middle East before, but not for America, but for a squid group.
And the principals of most of the consortiums in America are also squids.
The other party clearly has a large amount of secret information about the Braga Group, and she is responsible for many things, but Braga doesn't care about her life or death at all.
From this information, it is actually easy to infer who is standing behind the other party.
"Could your purpose be to prevent me from getting the gold back?"
Sir Zhang simply asked about the other party’s purpose.
"No, we also hope that you can recover this batch of gold as soon as possible, otherwise, this incident will never be completed."
Giselle actually fell into deep thought because of Zhang Pin's words and did not come back to her senses. When she heard Zhang Pin's next words, she quickly shook her head.
"But if possible, it would be best to kill the robber Simon."
Seeing that Zhang Pin's mood was still so stable, Giselle actually felt less confident. However, thinking about her mission this time, she finally gritted her teeth and expressed her true demands.
"It looks like we won't be able to get all the gold back this time."
Sir Zhang smiled at this, but did not directly agree or reject the other party.
Giselle: "If you can do this, you can gain our friendship. Recently, many people in Hong Kong are planning to immigrate. If you are also interested, we can help."
Giselle is obviously very experienced in this kind of negotiation, and naturally knows that even if Zhang Pin agrees, it is impossible for him to just nod his head.
So she directly gave her conditions.
"Sorry, I have no interest in immigrating. I love my country."
Sir Zhang was dismissive of Giselle's conditions.
Giselle: "Whatever you want, just ask."
Giselle was actually very happy about Zhang Pin's rejection, because it meant that Zhang Pin was willing to talk.
If he was really unwilling to agree to Giselle's conditions, he would not negotiate terms with Giselle at all.
"Well, I need to wait until I think about this."
Zhang Pin did not resist Giselle's request.
Because he knew very well that Simon was doomed this time, and even if he didn't agree, the other party would definitely not survive.
Although Sir Zhang couldn't stand the energy displayed by these squids, he knew that the opponent was not something he could defeat.
Especially now is a critical period for Dongfang. There will be more than 20 years of harmony between the two parties in the future. At this time, even if he is unwilling, he must put the overall situation first.
So he could only acquiesce to Giselle's expression of wanting to hitchhike.
"Is Owen Xiao one of yours too?"
After confirming that the person standing behind Braga was a squid, he thought of Owen Shaw, who had a cooperative relationship with Braga. The other party acted as the person to deal with the aftermath of the virus and the gold transaction this time, and his identity was obviously very important.
suspicious.
"Xiao, he has always served money."
Zhang Pin was a little surprised by Giselle's words.
"Yeah, that's good. I just got the news that our people have found Owen Xiao's whereabouts, so I don't need to consider whether to save his life."
However, he did not fully believe what Giselle said, so he deliberately exaggerated a bit of the news reported by Chen Jiaju.
"Owen Xiao is not simple. You have to remind your people to be careful."
However, in response to Zhang Pin's temptation, Giselle reminded Zhang Pin in turn.
"I can rest assured about my people."
Zhang Pin naturally has enough confidence in Chen Jiaju and Partridge Cai.
"I'm going to chase that woman."
After Chen Jiaju and Xiucai entered the subway station from the tunnel, they saw a man and a woman in front of them running separately. So they also chose to run separately.
"Huhuhu——"
After all, Letty is a woman, and she obviously cannot compare to men in terms of endurance.
So after running into the subway station in one breath, she subconsciously slowed down, and then took the initiative to turn her head to see if anyone was catching up behind her.
In fact, she still hasn't reacted to what happened today.
She originally thought she was just here to take away the auto mechanic, but unexpectedly, her two companions shot him without saying a word.
What she didn't expect even more was that the people inside seemed to be well prepared and wanted to ambush them.
So she simply chose to run away.
In fact, even now, Letty doesn't know who ambushed them in the room or how many there are.
Bang——
Just as Leti was thinking and turning her head to observe, a chubby body rushed towards her.
Dong dong dong——
Letty reacted quickly. When she was hit by the strong wind, she knew that she would not be able to escape, so she quickly bent her elbows back.
The next second, she was thrown to the ground.
Partridge's body quickly collided with Leti's elbow, and the pain caused his original intention of pressing the opponent to turn into a roll.
The two rolled forward several times on the ground, and then stopped when they hit the wall.
"Oh~~"
Partridge's luck was a bit bad this time, because in the end his body hit the wall.
Just when he was about to get up and control Letty, suddenly Letty moved too.
"Ahhhh-let it go, let it go!"
Originally, Letty was right next to him, so she reached out and grabbed Partridge's weak point.
Partridge, who had just squeaked when he bumped into the wall, finally lost his temper this time.
"Don't chase me, or I'll crush it!"
Letty gave Partridge a stern warning, then turned around and ran towards the subway that had just arrived not far away.
"Damn - I don't know if it's broken."
Although Letty let go of Partridge's weakness, Partridge was sitting in the aisle and didn't dare to get up.
After the pain passed, he found that he had lost consciousness.
As a result, he naturally couldn't care about anything else.
On the other side, Letty's accomplice ran directly to the subway hall.
"Stop, you can't run around here!"
In the hall, there were three security guards who happened to be maintaining order. When they saw each other walking among the crowd, one of them stopped him.
Hearing the security guard's words, the man who was running away involuntarily slowed down and walked towards the three security guards.
"you"
When the three security guards first saw each other slow down, they didn't pay attention to each other's movements.
But when they got closer, one of them suddenly felt a little confused. He was about to ask the other person to stop, but the next second, the other person raised his foot.
Bang——
The security guard who was just about to speak was kicked out.
"ah--"
Then he reached out and grabbed the clothes of the security guard on the left, and raised his right hand at the same time.
When the opponent was pulled in front of him, his right hand just turned into a fist and smashed down.
The security guard who was hit by the punch only had time to let out a scream and fell to the ground.
"Don't hit me——"
The last security guard was startled by the other person's actions. He subconsciously wanted to beg for mercy, but the man directly raised his leg and kicked the other person directly in the lower body. The security guard immediately shrank his body and squatted down.
"ah--"
When all three security guards were knocked down by the man with two kicks and one punch, the surrounding passengers who were about to take the subway were also shocked.
However, everyone did not run away because of this. Instead, after staying away from the man, they stood around and observed curiously.
Da da da——
"Huhuhu——"
Just when the man knocked down three security guards and was about to leave, Chen Jiaju finally caught up with him.
